Who pays for repair

The truck owner wants to hold $1200 on wages for a repair bill of $4000. Because there was no tow hooks to pull the truck out we used a chain and hooked it around the springs and got the truck out and I hauled with it the rest of the day then notice it was broke.

So he wants to charge me with repair but I say repair are his and he had no tow hooks to wrap the chain around.
